Witnesses said they heard multiple gun shots as officers arrived at the scene on Francis Street in Hull at around 9.20am this morning.

Site manager Mike Taylor added: "I heard two loud bangs all of a sudden. I remember thinking they sounded like gunshots.

"I joked to the other lads by touching my chest as if I had been shot. We didn't think any more of it."

A Humberside Police spokesman said: "We can confirm that a 31-year-old man was injured at 9.37am today after shots were fired by officers.

"We deployed armed officers to the Holderness Road area shortly after 9.20am, following reports of concerns for the safety of the public in relation to a man seen near the Post Office in Holderness Road, Hull."
